Alfred Hoerth has produced one of the best books on OT history. This is a valuable college/seminary level reference source which should be a “must” as Bible student personal resource.
Hoerth is appropriately supporting the early date of Exodus (based on First Kings 6:1 and Judges 11:26, mainly)and extrabiblical history.
I highly recommend to acquaire this Hoerth’s work as a profitable investment.

The book was good as new. It even had the new book smell
The reason I gave you 4 stars is I thought the book was slightly expensive and had friends who found it cheaper on ebay. Thanks for getting it to me so quickly.

This book provides insights into the ancient world with photos of archaeological finds and sites that relate to the Bible. The text is scholarly, but readable for the amateur.

I’m a layman (engineer) who has often taught the Word of God. I think this book is outstanding. It really makes the OT come alive because it gives a very good sense of the chronology, surrounding events, surrounding places, and other nations/peoples. I particularly like the scholarly, yet highly readable balance he strikes. He makes numerous references to liberal scholars and gives conservative answers to them. I read/write academic papers in my own field and recognize when someone is credible. This author’s book passes with flying colors. His timelines are especially helpful to tie the chapters together. Also many maps, sketches, lists (I was tickled to find out how ancient beer is!), and black-and-white artifact photos. Hopefully all readers of this review have a regular read-through-the Bible program. This book does a wonderful job providing the complementary perspective and makes reading God’s Word even more fruitful. This is by far the best of several books on archaeology I’ve ever read.

Archaeology and the Old Testament is a fabulous compilation of events in the Old Testament for any newcommer to the study of Biblical Archaeology. It summarizes and places specific biblical events into the context of the period inwhich the event occured in a very “Non-Biblical” fashion (In otherwords – English!). A great book. However, some events are a little too summarized, and the reader is left with a few questions about what really happened. What is fantastic about this book is the way it brings together facts spread throughout the Old Testament and gives true relevance to the specific issue or event at hand (i.e., the story and history of Daniel!)
